Last ditch effort underway to save SST appropriation
In Washington, government and industry lobbyists push to revive funding for the supersonic transport project. The Senate Appropriations Committee votes 17 to 5 for 134 million to finish SST prototypes, as the House previously rejected the plan 215 to 204. A Senate showdown looms with White House hints of other financing ideas if defeated. Federal funding ends March 30 after substantial government and industry contributions toward two prototypes.

Hippie hoaxers mailed 20000 phony bills in San Francisco
Three hippie hoaxers calling themselves Sam's Cafe were arrested on federal charges for mailing fictitious 76.40 bills to 20000 San Francisco residents. They claimed the stunt aimed to topple power centers. The trio faced charges over press kits with excrement vials and were released on bonds with a preliminary hearing set. At Los Angeles, Charles Manson's attorney argued his client is not a Svengali and urged a life sentence, citing his alleged fondness for women as a factor in his troubles.
